I wish you luck as I have often thought of doing a high end lodge but it's not like it was in the 80's where companies paid all out to take care of their managers. Think Magnavox, Home Depot, Remington... I've hosted all three, as a guide.
Just my $.02 and I DO wish you the best in your quest!

Thanks for the insight. I definitely don’t want to start out with a lodge situation. As much as I would love to run a multi faceted business that included a lodge and all of the amenities that went with it, I’m humble enough to know not to bite off more then I can chew right at this moment. My thoughts were to purchase something that could run from a trailhead. Back country pack in camps that could be set up and left for the season or incidental progressive type set ups that could Ben ran with smaller spring pole tents and moved easily from place to place. I wouldn’t mind doing gear drops and spot packs as well. I really hope that something will come to the surface that will fit the bill.
